Men who often drive should be careful about cervical spondylosis

　　Causes of cervical spondylosis

　　For car owners, the cause of cervical spondylosis is related to poor sitting posture and personal adjustment of the seat.

　　Under normal circumstances, the sitting posture of the front body of the body can easily put the physiological curvature of the car owner's spine in a tense state. Due to the high concentration of attention when driving, it is difficult to detect physical discomfort. If things go on like this, the intervertebral disc may become diseased, which is what we often call cervical spondylosis or lumbar disc herniation. In addition, some car owners have some personal habits when driving. For example, they like to adjust their seats very high and have to nod their heads to see the road ahead clearly. This can easily increase the load on the cervical spine and lead to cervical spondylosis.

　　Simple and effective prevention and treatment methods

　　When driving, car owners should adjust their sitting posture and adjust the seat to a suitable position so that the four physiological curvatures of the entire spine can fully adhere to the seat back.

　　You can use the time waiting for the red light to do some health-care activities. There are mainly the following categories:

　　★Interlace the fingers of both hands and place them behind the neck. Rub the neck back and forth dozens of times to make the neck skin After heating up, you will feel very relaxed and comfortable.

　　★Shake your head forward, back, left, and right in sequence. First shake your head in this way for a week, and then shake it in the opposite direction. Do 10 times each on the left and right.

　　★Keep your head upright, straighten your chest and neck, keep your arms perpendicular to your sides, and then hunch your shoulders as high as possible at the same time (note, do not shrink your neck), so that your neck and shoulders will feel hot. After shrugging your shoulders, pause for 1 second, and then lower your shoulders forcefully. A correct shrug can not only allow the shoulder to move itself, but also use the shoulder to massage the cervical spine, thereby relaxing the muscles and activating blood circulation.

　　In addition, you can also choose a suitable car headrest to keep your cervical spine in a comfortable and safe state. There is currently a new type of car headrest on the market that can automatically adjust with the seat to better protect the cervical spine.
